Police say Bob Lee was not a victim of a random attack

According to the outlet, Mission Local police said that Bob Lee was not the victim of a random attack but was killed after a dispute with a known acquaintance turned violent. As per the outlet, Lee was allegedly stabbed after a fight broke out between him and Momeni while riding together in the latter's car around the downtown San Francisco area in the early hours of April 4.

Police purported that, at some point, while they were still driving around the area, they got into a scuffle that spilled out into the streets after Lee got out of the vehicle and began walking away.

Consequently, Momeni allegedly stabbed Lee multiple times with a knife that was recovered by cops at the scene. The suspect then fled as a wounded Lee bled out in the area.

Surveillance footage from near the crime scene showed a grievously injured Bob Lee unsteadily walking along the vacant Main St before approaching a parked car that sped away after ignoring the victim’s desperate plea for help.

The video then captured Lee dragging himself back towards Main St, leaving a trail of blood in his wake before crumbling to the ground, outside an apartment building.

Lee was then seen walking towards the parked police car after officers responded to the stabbing report at around 2:35 am. Shortly after, life-saving measures were performed by emergency responders before the victim succumbed to his injuries.
